Swiss Bar Fire Death Toll Climbs to 41; Figure Skater Eyes Olympic Comeback
The death toll from the New Year's Day fire at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, rose to 41 after an 18-year-old Swiss national succumbed to their injuries, according to multiple news sources. Simultaneously, Alysa Liu, a former Olympic figure skater who retired at age 16, is planning a comeback for the U.S. women's Olympic figure-skating team in Milan, as reported by Time.
Investigators believe the fire at Le Constellation was ignited by sparkling candles placed on wine bottles, NPR News reported. Authorities are examining potential safety regulation violations and have launched a criminal investigation into the bar owners. The owners are suspected of negligent homicide, bodily harm, and causing a fire.
Meanwhile, Alysa Liu, now 21, is preparing for a potential return to the Olympics. Liu is recognizable for her unique hairstyle, featuring horizontal blonde and brown stripes, with a new blonde stripe added each year since 2023, according to Time. Liu achieved early success in her career, becoming the youngest U.S. women's champion at 13 and the first U.S. woman to land three triple axels in a single competition.
